Stirling Club Chefs Present A Holiday Cooking Demo

For the second time this year, Chef Steve Piamchunter will share some legendary cooking secrets. And this time, he will be joined by another well-known culinary name in Las Vegas — Anne Callaghan, chef de cuisine at The Stirling Club.

As some Stirling Club members know, Callaghan came to the club after serving five years as a sous chef and kitchen manager at Aureole Las Vegas in Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. It was at Aureole that Callaghan originally developed a cooking class prototype for the Charlie Palmer Group. Prior, she had worked in several kitchens at the MGM.

Piamchunter is equally renown. He is a recognized chef with the Charlie Palmer Group and head chef at The Stirling Club. He has 10 years of experience working at some of the finest restaurants in Las Vegas after working at his family’s Thai restaurant in California.
